Good. One down 7 to go. Nothing against Luongo, but we had our own young inexperienced players and really didn't need to bring another clubs player in to progress their career. The guy did at least try and clearly has skill - but not right for this current situation. Best wishes to him though.

Ridicolous

Now get rid of all the other loanees. Start again and build our own team.

Good ball control, will do very well with a bit of protection around him when he breaks into spurs squad avb likes young talent 3 players lastnight on the pitch for spurs all about 20 good luck mass sure u will make the grade and thanks for all effots

Coming on loan from spurs i got excited about this guy and i suppose he will get in the spurs side now and we will wish we still had him.
I am reading most people think McCarthy is the right man for the town job now does this mean you will all come back and support them again if so i will see you at the game on saturday

fifeblue - good philosophy - but not at all possible right now, after sticking with Jewell for too long unfortunately.

Far, far too many young players (potential club assets) allowed to leave the Club over recent seasons. Players we could have called our own, if only they had been assessed properly, and offered decent, or better still, non derisory insulting contracts.
We could have had the nucleus of a Club - for our current man to do something with.
Welcome to the 'hill climb' Mick - it's certainly well steep now - but if you don't get fed up first, you'll do it - given time, and backing (dare I say doubtful) - I certainly hope it will be there for you.

That's handy when he's February in the new ITFC Calendar

A bit annoyed by this, we were all ravng about him pre-season and he started the season reasonably well bar one mistake against Charlton and he was thrown out. In my opinion he is going back because he is not the type of player McCarthy likes. That isnt a criticism of McCarthy but If we had a manager like Karl Robinson, gus poyet I could see Luongo being the catalyst to good play. I think putting Hyam and Luongo together in front of N'Daw would work well in a 4-3-3 formation, all three would work there socks off and there is a good mix. Mick want solid graft and experienced players to get out of this mess, so players like Luongo will inevitably suffer, its not to do with developing someone else because for me because Luongo has potential to make a serious impact much more so than someone like Carson who is our own.

Yeah ship him out, he's the only player we had who can trap a ball. Bring in some more hoofers and stoppers. That should bring the crowds back.

Luongo-es!

This takes me back to some comments posted on here.
"Was he actually doing the job he was brought in to do by Jewell".
His comments of "I think I have a bit more in my locker than the manager realises", begs to ask that question.
Brought in as a defensive holding midfielder, he didn't seem to be playing that way in the games I watched. If he wouldn't follow the game plan, then perhaps that's why he has gone back.
Obviously a bright and talented player for the future.
However, Jewell's knack of bringing in the 'wrong' type of player is I believe why we are at rock bottom.
We the fans could all see it, surely the players knew the type of players needed also.
Not making excuses for the poor team play, but asking players to play out of their slots has probably resulted in poor performances and little effort. Do that for long enough and it becomes a habit.
Square pegs in round holes can work for awhile to get you out of the mire as covering play, but ultimatly proves costly if those concerned hate the role they are being asked to do, or are not capable enough to do it.
Heads up for tomorrow, lets give some noise for the tractor boys.

Looks to be a really good player but agree with MM that we need fighters rather than footballers but wish the lad all the best and have a hunch we will see more of him in the future.

Good luck back at Spurs - thanks for your efforts

AbujaBlue: "Great shame, he was very talented and level-headed for his age. Best of luck at Spurs and will be watching his career with interest."

A perfect summary. During his time with us Massimo was always a credit to himself, to ITFC, and to Tottenham.

Yes he's a good player, but I am mystified by some of the comments and views about Hyam. He treats the ball like a hot potato, and although his role is not going to bring him lots of goals, he's not got a goal threat at all. As I say, good player, but not worthy of some of the gushing comments here and clamouring for him.

A big mistake letting LUONG0 leave you should got rid of henderson after what he said.
Most of the town fans wont like him now so send him back to his beloved hammers where he cant even get on the bench and give the gloves back to loach who wants to play for us.
LUONGO was a good player .
Big mistake town.

The retuirn of loans to free up wages to actually start buidling is welcomed no matter which one goes back, none are outstanding, many very average. This one........soild but uninspiring.
